An eclectic collection of thoughts & ideas which have set me thinking, cussing, or wanting to shoot politicians. On this blog I promise to write the truth, the whole truth, or something like the truth, so help me God!

APOLOGIES

I have been over zealous with political comment lately so have now accepted the offer to assemble and write for two blogs on the WatchingUK website. The "Good News" blog is for items where we have benefited from the Brexit referendum vote and the "Bad News" blog is where others have tried to damage our chances of leaving the EU.

Manchester’s Half a Million Pilgrim Fund

52% of children in Manchester live in poverty, making it the third poorest place to live in Britain.

Manchester City Council are cutting front-line services in an act of political defiance – rather than saving money on the bureaucracy.

They are cutting 2,000 jobs in order to support their quarter of a million pound CEO and other fat cats. However FoI’s have revealed a huge rump that could be cut in order to protect frontline services – starting with the half a million spent every year paying staff not to work, but instead to do union activities.

Last year £449,088.00 was spent on union pilgrims, taxpayer money being used to represent the interests of people who would rather see Britain go the way of Greece than push their pen for an extra year. Funny you don’t read about that on the Unison placards…

The above is a post from Guido Fawkes's blog. A must read for anyone interested in political expose in British Politics

I use G Suite for Business

This was originally called "Google for Work" but they changed the name to "G Suite",

I recently updated it from their standard US$5 plan to their US$10 "G Plan for Business" plan as it then allows me unlimited storage on Google Drive. I've now uploaded all my data files including photos, videos and music, so I can access all my files on any computer (Windows, Mac or Linux), tablet (Apple, Amazon or Android) or smartphone (Apple, Android or Windows) in the world.

They have a referral plan and if you use this link then you get 20% off your first year's bill. I get a tenner, which I will give to our local Brexit Watching organisation.

Finally, you get to use it with your own domain instead of an @gmail.com end.
